A Serpent in the Embers
Some vows are written in blood. Ours was written in ruin.
I’ve never refused a kill. Not for mercy, not for guilt. But the Queen of the Stygian Darkness has given me an impossible task: kill the second-in-command of the Shadow Court, and she will free my sister’s wasted soul from her dungeon. A life for a life. A simple transaction.
Except nothing about him is simple. Stone is a warrior carved from rock and shadow, a creature of brutal power who sees too much. Every moment I spend hunting him, the vow in my blood screams for his death while some forgotten part of my soul screams louder for his life. In the darkness, there are no good choices, only survival.
A Serpent in the Embers is the heart-wrenching first book in a dark fae romantasy series. If you like fated mates, tragic romance, and morally grey heroines, you’ll love this gutting read.
As my tagline says, I write fiction to the left of mainstream, which means if you’re looking for the typical trope or standard genre read, you might have taken a wrong turn at the bookshelf.
I write messy, underdog heroines who are just as morally grey as the heroes they fall for. Both carry a metric tonne of emotional baggage. And any romance you find is bound to be an agonizing slow burn one because I personally feel that’s where the magic happens.
So if that’s your kind of chaos, then have a look around. You might find the perfect escape.
